Winter Panorama, Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
The painting highlights the beautiful blue-violet tones often seen in snowy landscapes. Subtle pale gold on the horizon complements and adds warmth to the coolness of the scene. A low horizon line, combined with strong value contrast, enhances the sense of breadth and depth.

About the Artist
Artist Jill Poyerd finds inspiration in the intricate characters of natural elements. "Nature is my artistic muse, with its colors, lighting, and unpredictable patterns," says Jill. To convey stories within the landscape, certain parts of the scene embrace abstraction and minimalism, while other components delve into detailed and realistic portrayals. Whether working with watercolor or oil, Jill captures each moment with a style distinctly her own. Jill attributes much of her artistic journey to her mother's unwavering belief in her abilities and the constant support from her husband. In her spacious and tidy basement studio filled with music, she often uses edited black-and-white versions of personal reference photos for value assessment and relies on a computer monitor or plein air work for color evaluation. Beyond art, Jill delves into writing and reading books, making videos, and actively participating in regional administrative roles.
